Lost Texas A&M College Ring Houston, Texas (Recovered)
06/30/2013
I was contacted by Chris a resident in Houston (North Houston) regarding his daughters lost Texas A&M College Ring (Aggies). Chris said he believes his grandson had picked up his daughters A&M ring and dropped it somewhere in his front yard. Chris said earlier in the day his grandson had grabbed the ring off of a counter in the house, and was seen playing with it, Chris said they took it away and placed in an area out of his reach. Well thats what they thought, they later discovered the ring was again missing. Chris said after throughly searching the house and not finding the ring, they knew the only other place it might be is in the front yard. Chris said his grandson had been in the front yard the day the ring went missing.

I made trip up to north Houston, and met with Chris who outlined the areas he believed the ring might have been lost. Chris’ house was a corner lot, and when I arrived, I was thinking this is going to be a long hot day.
I used a little marking paint on Chris’s lawn to establish a search grid pattern and was preparing for an extensive search of his front and side lawn. I opted to start the search near his front door and hit the first foot of grass and “Hello” Texas A&M.
Must be my fastest recovery to date, nice when it all comes togehter.

Lost Wedding Ring Sugar Land, Texas (Recovered)
Service Call 06/29/2013
I recieved the following email from a Sugar Land resident regarding a lost ring.
Hi John, I just read the story about Richard Browne in Mass. who finds rings for people and he mentioned ringfinders.com.
I checked and to my surprise, I found you in Sugar Land, which is where I am.
My eldest son was in our pool 2 weeks ago splashing the dogs and he says his wedding ring flew off (he’s been married for two years). I have a very old metal detector, and I am a rank amateur, but we tried to find it with no luck. If it did fly off, then it’s in my back yard, but we just can’t find it. My wife and I go out in the yard looking for it almost every day but we’ve found nothing.
So I am reaching out to you, to see if you can help us. At the worst I’d like to be able to tell my son it’s not there.
thanks and regards,
Mark Locascio

I made the short trip to Marks this morning with the new CTX3030 in hand. Mark pointed out the areas where he felt the ring might have flown of his son’s hand. I was initial a little apprehensive when Mark brought out his nice looking White Coin Master Metal Detector and explained he had already tried finding the ring. He said he had put another gold ring in the yard and was able to find it with no trouble.
That was a little bit of a sinking feeling 😉
I worked the same areas as Mark had previously described with his detector, and was not able to find the ring. I took a few minutes to think about the event that led up to the loss of the ring. I decided to work some a couple of flower beds well outside of the area identifed.
I opted for the hand and knees approach with my pin pointer on a flower bed that was riddled with metal distractions. The ring jump right out on my second sweep of the pinpointer.
Mark and his wife said they had given up all hopes that the ring would ever be found.

Metal Detecting for a lost gold wedding band on a soccer field in Vancouver, BC
Last night I received a call around 9:30 pm from a young lady who’s husband (Jose) had lost his gold wedding band at a Vancouver Park while playing soccer.Jose and 10 others searched for the ring of well over an hour in the dark with a flashlight but to no avail. His wife googled and found The Ring Finders online and we discussed the search and I met her husband at 7:30 am the next morning for him to show me the area.Fortunately he had a very good idea that the ring had come off in the goal area… if he was right that would cut my search time considerably and that being said it only took me 10 minutes!
Only married 3 years this young man’s ring will now continue to tell a story of love.
The smile tells the story! I truly love my job! I get to make people Smile! Lost something…Call ASAP! You can watch the video of the search on the link below…https://youtu.be/y7wxYIgQFcI
Lost Platinum Wedding Band Richmond, Texas (Recovered)
June 2013
Lost Men’s Platinum Wedding Ring in Richmond, Texas.
The caller Mr. King reported he had lost his wedding ring in his backyard while battling a swarm of honey bees. Mr. King reported a swarm of honey bees had been trying to set-up their new home at his new home, and while trying to evict them things went bad. Apparently the bees were not planning on cooperating and became aggressive and assaulted Mr. King. In the battle for his turf, Mr King managed to lose his ring while in the midst of the fight. The suspects (bees) were later taken into custody by a pest control specialist without further incident. No other injuries were reported.
Mr. King reported his new homes backyard was not sodded and it was extremely muddy due to recent rains, he suggested wearing boots due to the yards current condition.
With a new Minelab CTX 3030 in hand, I wadded through Mr. King’s backyard and found his ring buried in about 1″ of mud. The new CTX 3030 is off to a good start.
3rd time is a charm in Fremont, Michigan
Dan R. was trimming some trees off his property and clearing some of his land and forgot he was wearing a gold bracelet until walking in the house and noticed it gone.
He went back out to where he thought he might have lost it and could not find it. He got on the computer and found www.theringfinders.com and located me through
the directory. I came out the next day with a friend, Dave, and attempted to look for it unsuccessfully in the rain. Dan paid for my gas to make the 82 mile round trip
and I told him “I will be back but this time on my dime”. A week later I came out with another detector friend, Larry, and with better weather was still unsuccessful
so I didn’t want to fail Dan and his wife so I told him I was coming back. The third time I came back with my brother Doug, we have been a very successful team
in hunting down these lost items. After about 30 minutes Doug came up with the gold bracelet just on the edge of the flower bed and the grass.
Another happy couple and in the words of our director, Chris Turner, “I love my job”.

Lost Oyama Wedding Ring Found
The distress call came from Oyama B.C. Logan was splitting firewood in his backyard, his wedding ring was getting in the way, so he removed it and placed on the splitting block as he stacked the wood. A while later he remembered the ring, only by this time a young boy had been in the yard and tipped over the block. Logan was unsure if the boy had moved the ring or not. He did a visual search of the yard with no success, so he searched the internet finding Ringfinders and requested my assistance. The ring was found quickly with my metal detector, it was in the grass and had been stepped on.
